He spotted the 'UFO' on Thursday evening (April 25) when he was standing in his St George garden, BristolLive reports .

He contacted the site the following day to share the pictures, showing what he says is a suspicious green glow floating through the clouds and across a clear blue sky.

What Elliot has described as a 'UFO', glowing through the clouds

"There were three of us in the garden, so I can confirm I'm not mad," Elliot said, regarding his sighting of what he believes to be mysterious visitors from another planet.

He added: "We watched an object in the distance moving in strange directions at high speed, occasionally gleaming with light. It seemed strange, but we didn't make anything more of it.

Elliot claims to have seen the mysterious object on Thursday evening

"A few minutes later I got my phone out to capture a strange ray of light piercing through the cloud. I wasn’t aware until afterwards that the object had some how made it’s way back around (probably a mile or so from where we first saw it) and then featured in the photos that I took.

"I did not realise I'd documented it until after. It was flying very low, moved silently and in an unusual fashion. It was not a balloon, and was definitely not just light refraction through my lens."
